"From tiny wooden houses to massive stone forts, even the grounds on which youÂre fighting can be blasted apart."
i especially like the last statement, as it implies what i wished for in regards of ground destruction(i feel like using the ground to your advantadge by digging or straight up blowing it up was very important in the wold wars)

yup, and i see it as a good thing, if it was only trench warfare it'd be boring as a battlefield game, but if we take out trench warfare, ww1 was a very very interesting time period, so i think it'll be nice as long as there's gun/attachments vaiety.

Two things need to be in place for extra destruction to work, the map needs to not become a flat clusterfuck of sniper/vehicle instadeath and they need to fix the collapsed building hitbox issues. In Bf4 collapsed buildings have awful hitboxes.

So I found this. Back in 2004 there was a mod for 1942 called Battlefield: 1918 http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Battlefield:_1918 Not to say all these guns gotta be or will be in the game or anything but it is good reference for what kinda guns and equipment that were...well around during WW1. Like I had no idea of the Maxim QF 1 Pounder "Pom-Pom" and L/35 Model 1916 anti-air craft guns.

I do hope it isn't another flop in the series, a temporary refuge from modern warfare we all got to explore with BF4. I have an impression that bf4 was so good, few games, which came out later, couldn't offer a fraction of what bf4 has and collapsed under their own, light, weight. (hyperbole) Hardline, Battlefront.. Am I to expect another temporary BF spin-off for a narrow audience? Not really worried, just curious.

not 100% confirmed source, but he seems to be alright to some extent, and he says a couple of interesting and reassuring things(pickups absence, ironsight and similar upgrades, gun and ambient variety, etc...)
you might want to ask him some questions, and if he is indeed "true" then we'll see his thread getting locked, maybe.
